using your laptop on a constant basis means a lot of convenience, but it also carries two disturbing downsides: a non-ergonomic flat keyboard position and a lot of heat building up inside the computer. the chief geek found a very cheap and very simple solution to both of these problems: lapworks' laptop legs. you won't believe how simple yet effective this solution is, and it won't surprise you to know that they got a geek.com pick.

got another one for you(1:27pm est mon aug 22 2005)my own invention, a “chest tray”. this a piece of 1/8″ thick hardboard (pressed fiberboard available from home depot) sized to match my laptop with smooth rounded corners, ergonomically padded underneath at the sides to rest comfortably on my chest and provide a smooth flat surface for my laptop as i lay on the sofa, surf the net, watch tv and engage in friendly banter with the wife all at the same time. think there is a market for this one? – by jqp

and if they had wings(3:40pm est mon aug 22 2005) they could fly. oh, wait they were supposed to with xp. if you flap the screen fast enough, it might look like it. – by rcaman

re: on your chest(4:11pm est mon aug 22 2005)well, to be more accurate, it rests on the lower part of my chest and extends down to the stomach area. i'm a fairly tall guy (6 ft 4 inches) so lying down, the screen is at a comfortable viewing distance. feel free to adjust to suit. the tray is padded in the stomach area to tilt the keyboard up slightly. – by jqp
